Electronic-waste recycling drive

Earth Week Tip #1

Spring cleaning and you don't know what to do with that old computer?  Here's a solution courtesy of the West Green Club forwarded by John Perkins of the Greenbush Neighborhood Association:

"Computers and monitors would typically require a $10 disposal fee tag to be picked up by city crews. This is an opportunity to recycle those items."
